1008 Words
“Marry you” the words echoed in her ears.
Her eyes blinked in shock; her mind went blank after hearing the words “Marry you”.
Silence remained with crowded questions in her heart. She asked him “what? Marry me...”. “Are you joking?” his words questioned her heart to trust him or not.
His genuine eyes glared at her and his little smile melted her heart and her unanswered questions. The unbreakable silence revolved them as the time passed in their precious budding love world.
“Yes, I was destined to marry you” he said.
“I don’t know if you would believe me or not. But I came to India only to save you from the upcoming danger. I also joined your school to meet you”.
Lucy with a confused state of mind, looked at him and told him, “What are you trying to say? Why should I believe you and who are you?”. “I am not ready to trust anyone”, her words showed the pain of the past hurting's and the loneliness which portrays her true state where she is afraid to trust someone.
Logan saw her fear in her face and decided to take her to the gateway of their past, “The Vintage Past”.
He took her hand and walked past her; with his other hand he opened the path to the world of the Vintage Past. Winds flew over with the dust and stroked her hair by enchanting her original scent.
The smell of her scent awoke his senses with more power and pulled him towards her. His eyes glared at her with a desire of attaining the destined moment. She did not resist his moves and looked at him with her saddest eyes. He tried to remove her hair and began to move his head on the direction of her lips. She did not move and waited for him, slowly they both kissed passionately, by forgetting themselves.
The world of the Vintage Past filled with the memories of their past birth awoke her senses but soon she regained her consciousness and pushed him away.
“Thump... Thump...”
Her heart beat was raising and her face burned with the shock and awkwardness due to the situation of the stranger’s kiss. Slowly she raised her head and looked at him, he fainted and fell in the ground. She shouted at him by calling his name, “Logan, Logan, Logan” but there was no response.
She looked around and saw the world of the Vintage Past; the waves with blue turned to violet and her eyes saw the color of violet being scattered every corner around her.
“Wow” the beauty of the Vintage Past world soothed her heart and her subconscious mind began to react to look after Logan.
She took few steps closer to the water and took some in her tiny hands. With the gathered water she splashed it in his face to awake him from his limitless sleep. The sparkled water lightened his skin with its current and he felt the body ache when he woke up.
“Ah...”.
“My head and body hurts.” feeling dizzy he tried to stand up but fell down in the ground.
Lucy grabbed his shoulder and helped him to stand. She asked him “What happened?” with a worried look.
But he told her that he was not sure about the situation as it was the first time happening to him. They moved together walking beneath the violet-wine looked sea shore.
A wall of fire was glowing in the distance, and he directed her towards the fire wall, as if he had many experiences of that place. Distances faded and the destination grew closer as they took each step together. He took the pendant; hung around his neck in a diamond shape and placed it into the wall of fire.
“Hey... You will hurt your hand. Are you mad?” the sudden situation shocked her and warned him to be careful.
But he told her not to worry as it was not a real fire, the wall of fire was just a projection and it was the entrance to the secret base. The diamond pendant was the key to the secret base. The door to the secret base opened out of the thin air, Logan removed the pendant from the wall of fire and they both moved together towards the door. It was dark and the door closed increasing the darkness. Lucy grabbed his shirt tightly by looking at the broaden darkness. He looked at her and told her, “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I will protect you at any cost”.
The lights were turned on and it washed away the entire darkness out of their world. But their eyes remained the same glaring at each other, forgetting their journey, their past, their everything.
“Hi Lucy...” the unfamiliar voice and an unfamiliar figure calling her name; distracted them and they looked at the unfamiliar person standing in front of them with a welcoming smile.
The chiseled white hair like snow and the elegant gown with added layers intensified the unfamiliar person as a “Goddess of Beauty” inside Lucy’s mind. The sparkling smile in the anti-aged face and the warmth from the person gave her a slightest hope and rest from the unexpected surprises.
“Who is that?” Lucy questioned by looking at Logan.
“The Protector of the Vintage Past”; “The Godmother of the Reincarnation Past”.
Logan looked at her and understood her confused state of mind. With the weakest smile he flustered her by saying that the unfamiliar Godmother will explain her everything. His body began to weaken more and he was placed at a nearby couch in the direction of the unfamiliar Godmother.
